Israeli Professor - 'We Could
Destroy All European Capitals'

(IAP News) -- An Israeli professor and military historian
hinted that Israel could avenge the holocaust by annihilating millions
of Germans and other Europeans.

Speaking during an interview which was published in Jerusalem
Friday, Professor Martin Van Crevel said Israel had the capability of hitting
most European capitals with nuclear weapons.

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and
rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even
at Rome. Most European capitals are targets of our air force."

Creveld, a professor of military history at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem, pointed out that "collective deportation"
was Israel's only meaningful strategy towards the Palestinian people.

"The Palestinians should all be deported. The people
who strive for this (the Israeli government) are waiting only for the right
man and the right time. Two years ago, only 7 or 8 per cent of Israelis
were of the opinion that this would be the best solution, two months ago
it was 33 per cent, and now, according to a Gallup poll, the figure is
44 percent."

Creveld said he was sure that Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon wanted to deport the Palestinians.

"I think it's quite possible that he wants to do
that. He wants to escalate the conflict. He knows that nothing else we
do will succeed."

Asked if he was worried about Israel becoming a rogue
state if it carried out a genocidal deportation against Palestinians, Creveld
quoted former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan who said "Israel
must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother."

Creveld argued that Israel wouldn't care much about becoming
a rogue state.

"Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest
in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to
take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that this will happen
before Israel goes under."
